Just got this in email Just a few weeks ago, I returned home from the UnitedNations Headquarters in New York City.

Thanks to your hard work, the UN Gun Ban stalled lastmonth. Hillary and her allies were forced to close the July conference without a completed treaty.

But the bad news is, the anti-gun gang have already begun their next UN meeting against your gun rights.

The UN Programme Against Small Arms began yesterday and is scheduled to run through September 7th at UN Headquarters in New York.

And my sources at the UN report countries like Mexico are banging the UN Gun Ban war drumslouder than ever.

Let me make this clear, the UN Gun Ban is FAR from dead.

In fact, I’m afraid this nightmare has just begun. Hillary’s global gun grab is proving harder tokill than Freddy Krueger.

American gun owners have no choice but to continue to fight againstthis monstrosity -- or face incredible consequences.

I’ve spent many years leading fightsagainst gun grabs and control schemes from anti-gun zealots.

This fight, however, is on such amassive scale, with so many moving targets and on so many fronts, that it has been a virtual course in adapting tactics to fit the battle.

The actors have stayed the same -- it’s the same international and U.S. gun control fanatics,banging the gong against civilian ownership of “the tools of violence” -- but their avenue of attacks are so varied that it is vitalNAGR keep on top of this . . .

. . . and critical that grassroots activists stay involved.

A job well-done, but not finished

First, know that you’ve already done so much to derail the UN Gun Grab that future generations owe you a debt of gratitude.

Remember that just a few years ago, most of the so-called “gun rights experts” mocked anydiscussion of this issue.

Then, when activists began asking questions of the institutionalgun lobby, the response was “Don’t worry, we’re on the inside of this game, and we have it handled.”

Now they’re paying attention

That answerwasn’t good enough. The stakes are simply too high to trust this process, or frankly, the players involved.

Your loud shouts of protest and more than 1.4-million signed petitions got the attention of policy makers worldwide.

Suddenly, their inside gig was up. You forced the hand of even the current White House to be carefulin these negotiations.

What can you do now?

Like some monster from a cheap horror flick, Hillary’s UN Gun Ban is very much alive. Only vigorous action willcontinue to hold it at bay and finally kill it.

In other words, our fight hasn’t changed:we’re still battling the UN’s insidious attempts at destroying our Second Amendment.

Our method of fighting hasn’t changed, either -- providing pressure on the U.S. Senate and the White House (regardless of who controls theinstitution) is what will keep our freedoms safe.

I know we’re up to the task of thisfight.

My prayer is that you will continue to stay involved as well.

Please consider chipping in $10 or $20 to help the National Association for Gun Rights keep up the fight against theUN’s attack on our gun rights.

For Freedom,

Dudley Brown Executive Vice President

P.S. With global anti-gunners renewingtheir push for a UN Gun Ban at the Programme Against Small Arms meeting right now in New York, it's safe to say the attack on our gun rights is FARfrom over.

NAGR is only able to wage war against these attacks on our gun rights thanks to the generouscontributions of members and supporters like you.

Would you please chip in $10 or $20 to help NAGRkeep up the fight against the UN Gun Ban?

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
